We had an appointment that night during the Game Awards 2023 to discover the next playable character of Guilty Gear: Strive as part of its Season Pass 3. Except that Bandai Namco Asia got it wrong and put his revealing article online before its time, which was even shared on Twitter / X by Katsuhiro Harada. As you read in the title of this article, she’s the lovely one Elphelt Valentine who will make his return and will therefore succeed Johnny. When ? Well, from this Friday, December 8.

Although no one blames her for making mistakes, this very fact weighs on Elphelt and she runs away. What can she do to make people smile? Elphelt finds the answer to his dilemma in the form of a microphone. His band, Speothos Venaticus, is still active on stage.
